requisitioned
Formally demanded possession
Requisitioned is the past tense of requisition, meaning to formally demand or take something for official use.
Governments requisition supplies during emergencies; military forces requisition buildings or vehicles.
The word implies authority behind the demand: The army requisitioned the hotel as a field hospital.
Unlike simply requesting, requisitioning carries the force of compulsion.
